“…Accordingly, it was decided to adapt and extend the framework of Otto and Zunke (2015): In addition to the dimension "HRI level," the two dimensions "precondition & implication" and "data sources" were added (see Fig. 22.2; Baier et al 2022).…”

“…In addition to the categories in the original framework, Fig. 22.2 Extended human-robot interaction (HRI) framework (Baier et al 2022) -example filled in another category has been added that refers to a common platform, as needed for wearables, prostheses, or exoskeletons.…”

Like all preceding transformations of the manufacturing industry, the large-scale usage of production data will reshape the role of humans within the sociotechnical production ecosystem. To ensure that this transformation creates work systems in which employees are empowered, productive, healthy, and motivated, the transformation must be guided by principles of and research on human-centered work design. Specifically, measures must be taken at all levels of work design, ranging from (1) the work tasks to (2) the working conditions to (3) the organizational level and (4) the supra-organizational level. We present selected research across all four levels that showcase the opportunities and requirements that surface when striving for human-centered work design for the Internet of Production (IoP). (1) On the work task level, we illustrate the user-centered design of human-robot collaboration (HRC) and process planning in the composite industry as well as user-centered design factors for cognitive assistance systems. (2) On the working conditions level, we present a newly developed framework for the classification of HRC workplaces. (3) Moving to the organizational level, we show how corporate data can be used to facilitate best practice sharing in production networks, and we discuss the implications of the IoP for new leadership models. Finally, (4) on the supra-organizational level, we examine overarching ethical dimensions, investigating, e.g., how the new work contexts affect our understanding of responsibility and normative values such as autonomy and privacy. Overall, these interdisciplinary research perspectives highlight the importance and necessary scope of considering the human factor in the IoP.

“…For example, drag-and-drop interfaces are developed in [10,14] for building and visualization of BTs in addition to other tools. This novel application domain for BTs opens the door to industrial applications of smart robotic teleoperative assistance in use cases studied in [1,15]. We plan to empirically verify this work by conducting user studies allowing users to define activities and teleoperate the robot using the trees in domestic assistance use cases.…”

Robotic assistance in robot arm teleoperation tasks has recently gained a lot of traction in industrial and domestic environments. A wide variety of input devices is used in such setups. Due to the noise in the input signals (e.g., Brain Computer Interface) or delays due to environmental conditions (e.g., space robot teleoperation), users need assistive autonomy that keeps them in control while following predefined trajectories and avoiding obstacles. This assistance calls for activity representations that are easy to define by the operator and able to take the dynamic world state into consideration. This paper represents Activities of Daily Living using Behavior Trees (BTs) whose inherent readability and modularity enables an end user to define new activities using a simple interface. To achieve this, we augment BTs with Shared Control Action Nodes, which guide the user's input on a trajectory facilitating and ensuring task execution.
